Hopefully the data being used by the bean in this way can be relatively
up-to-date, for instance today's headlines.

As long as the db passes the ACID test, that is all that matters. Don't
use the data in the bean for anything important, don't hold it there and
re-display it before committing to the db, and grabbing the update.
I don't see any real difference between a bean and a nsv_ element.
Probably the bean is a little more flexable, but it is all virtual
memory.
